The Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) are a type of flat panel display that uses liquid crystals for operation. They are relatively old technology but can be seen in clocks, laptops, computers, calculators, dashboards, and other electronic projects and devices because of their advantages over newer types of displays, including low power, low cost, and readability.

Display Visions’ 0.84″ 96 x 16 OLED display is ideal for small, compact low-power applications Display Visions’ yellow OLEDs come packaged as a complete module that includes all required logic at only a 1.34 mm thickness. With a built-in controller, 2000:1 contrast ratio, 10 µs response time, viewing angles greater than 160°, and the ability to withstand
Board Design For part of my final project I want to make my own USB audio recording device. So I’ll try to develop all the necessary electronics this week. I have the analog circuitry I need from inputs week. But I don’t have a board ready to go with a USB-capable microcontroller (bit-banging will not suffice,
Lattice Semiconductor has introduced a new general-purpose FPGA family that has been developed to combine high I/O density, low-power, small packages and fast interfaces. [via] The Lattice Certus-NX series provides up to double the I/O density per mm 2 of similar FPGAs, and provides power savings, a small footprint, reliability, and instant-on performance. Devices in the family support

For a number of years now I’ve had a couple of high powered switching power supply units made by Power-One. They’re typically found in I.T. equipment and provide a single output rail of either 12 V or 48 V with a very high current rating. The other cool thing is that in the case of

Today I am going to show you how to make a pulse counter quickly with littlebits modules. This is a very fun and easy project to do and you can, for example, count the times a door opens, as was the case with our makerspace that we made a counter of these to count the
When you travel, it’s a bit frustrating to fill your luggage with lots of chargers, cables, and adapters to fit your charging needs. In addition to the space it takes which makes it harder to bring every kind of charger you may need. ChargEST is designed to become your charging companion anywhere in the world you

Determine the power absorbed by the VCVS in the figure. Solution: The VCVS consists of an open circuit and a controlled-voltage source. There is no current in the open circuit, so no power is absorbed by the open circuit. The voltage vc across the open circuit is the controlling signal of the VCVS. The voltage
F&S Elektronik Systeme has unveiled its 40 x 35mm “PicoCore MX8MM” module which runs Linux on a quad-A53, 1.8GHz i.MX8 Mini with up to 8GB LPDDR4 and 32GB eMMC plus WiFi/BT, a GbE controller, PCIe, and optional -40 to 85°C support. The PicoCore MX8MM is a i.MX8M variant with lower video resolution, but a faster clock rate. The PicoCore MX8MM has the same
